109 – Disciplinary Committee 8
The only ones who knew that Loki used nightmares on Darun were Loki himself and Darun, who experienced those nightmares.
So, the people attending the disciplinary committee could only think for themselves whether Darun’s words were true or false.
“No matter how urgent it is, such lies are a bit…”
“It looks like you’re so excited that you’re just spouting anything, right?”
“Until now, there was a possibility for the lies, but now…”
“If you’re going to lie, at least tell a somewhat decent lie. Seriously, it’s so ridiculous that I burst into laughter.”
Everyone watching them had no doubt that what Darun said was a lie.
The priest who treated Darun also directly said that there were no traces, and it was unimaginable for Loki to do such a terrible thing.
In the first place, even before the disciplinary committee was held, the gaze on Darun was not favorable.
There was a fact that, for whatever reason, several second-year students attacked a first-year student.
Did the gaze that looked at Da-run change after the disciplinary committee opened?
Certainly not.
If anything, it could be considered worse.
“I extended my hand for a friendly greeting, but this guy, with his hands in his pockets, ignored me, saying, ‘Are you asking me to shake this?’ while looking at my hand!”
At first, Da-run claimed Loki initiated the argument.
However, it was revealed that Da-run approached armed students first.
Da-run’s lies didn’t end there.
“My friends thought I was insulted after seeing Loki’s actions, so without giving me a chance to intervene, I attacked Loki.”
Da-run spoke as if he never told anyone to attack.
On the video coming out of the screen, there was a scene of Da-run shouting to use the artifact.
It was somewhat expected that people would feel that Da-run was lying again this time.
“Da-run said you beat him severely and, uh… made him be raped by a man. What do you think about this before the disciplinary committee?”
The professor in charge of the disciplinary committee glanced at Da-run once pitifully and said to Loki.
The professor who spoke sighed in the middle of speaking, seemingly surprised himself.
“…. Oh, I admit that I beat him severely. But making him be raped by a man…. What is that…?”
Loki, who had been speaking boldly until now, spoke with a slightly embarrassed tone, and his voice was filled with a confused emotion.
“It seems like it’s the first time I’ve seen Loki student so flustered.”
“Honestly, wouldn’t anyone be flustered if someone made such a claim against them?”
“That’s true.”
Those attending the disciplinary committee were convinced once again that Da-run was lying, watching this unfold.
‘Why does no one believe me!’
Certainly, Daloon, who was watching that scene, was so angry that his head felt like it was going to explode.
He knew that Loki’s bewildered appearance just now was an act.

Everything he had said moments ago was the truth.
But from the reactions around, he could tell that no one believed his words.
‘I clearly experienced that ordeal firsthand, yet there’s no trace left!’
Even when the priest who had promised a resolution entered, Daloon had believed that everything would be resolved.
But the entering priest had been of no help.
He had only confirmed that a lot had happened within the mist. He couldn’t figure out what ordeal he had suffered.
“I’m not sure if I heard it correctly, so could you please repeat it once more?”
Looking at the guy who was still pretending to know nothing, Daloon felt his body shaking with anger.
‘Nevertheless, I’m relieved that the plan succeeded.’
Loki raised the corners of his mouth inside the mask.
When he first devised the plan to act as if he didn’t know anything about using nightmares, he had been uncertain.
Using nightmares left no evidence, but it would have been troublesome if even a few people believed Daloon.
‘It’s fortunate that guy kept fumbling around.’
Fortunately, since Daloon was caught foolishly lying, no one believed his words now.
If Daloon had admitted everything and then mentioned what happened within the mist at the end, some might have believed him.
‘Of course, there are about four other plans besides this one…’
This plan could quickly conclude the disciplinary committee and definitively push Daloon to the edge of the cliff.
I turned my head and looked around.
Yohanna, Clara, Joden, Lucas.
Apart from them, there were also Academy professors and representatives from various clubs.
There were many influential people outside of the Academy as well.
“The rumors will spread quickly.”
The disgraceful behavior shown by Darun in the Disciplinary Committee will spread quickly.
Although it was impossible to completely sever the connections Darun had built up to become a viscount, it was possible to cut them off to some extent.
The Disciplinary Committee was nearing its end as the professor in charge and Darun exchanged a brief question and answer session, and the professor asked Darun a few questions.
While contemplating what to eat for dinner tonight,
Sepia grabbed the hem of my clothes like she did before.
“Sepia, do you have something to say to me? Oh, don’t tell me. Did you call me to pat your head again?”
“It’s not because of that!”
“It was just a joke, just a joke. I made a joke because you seemed so tense.”
“…. Is what that guy said true?”
Sepia saw that Darun’s face kept getting hit, but she didn’t see what happened after that.
“Oh~ I would never do such terrible and disgusting things.”
There was no need to tell Sepia specifically what was happening, as it wouldn’t change anything.
The professor in charge of the disciplinary committee turned his gaze towards Loki.
“I did hit Da-run’s face hard, but since Da-run provoked and attacked first, Loki won’t receive any punishment.”
Knowing that the plan was successful, Loki didn’t feel particularly happy or excited.
“Whew……..”
Loki looked at Sepia, who let out a sigh of relief beside him, and asked with a smirk.
“Sepia, why are you so happy that I didn’t receive any punishment?”
“Don’t laugh! Shouldn’t you be annoyed when you see someone not getting punished?”
While Loki and Sepia were having a pleasant conversation, Da-run’s expression became distorted.
The professor’s gaze now turned towards Da-run.
“He first took the students who were armed and instigated the conflict. And on top of that, he lied at the disciplinary committee. Da-run Libaiden, you are a troublemaker…..”
-Squeak.
The closed door opened, interrupting the professor’s words.
The person who entered through the open door was a middle-aged man who resembled a rat.
“Count Ganelorabra.”
Someone murmured upon seeing the man who entered.
Count Ganelorabra was one of the sponsors of the academy.
Croa Academy was the best academy on the continent, and to maintain such an academy, a lot of money was needed.
Therefore, sponsors were important figures in the academy.
And Count Ganelorabra was one of the sponsors who had donated a considerable amount of money to the academy, enough to fit within the five fingers.
And this Count Ganelorabra was one of the people pushing Da-run to become Viscount Libaiden.
‘Was the daughter of Count Ganelabra engaged to Dalun?’
There was no affection between the daughter of Count Ganelabra and Dalun.
Strictly a business relationship.
But that’s probably why he appeared here.
“Even if I’m just one of the sponsors, is this not an impolite behavior, Count Ganelabra?”
“I had no choice but to intervene because it was absurd. Dalun Gongja received a lot of beatings until the moment of his death, and yet he didn’t face any punishment.”
“Dalun attacked Loki first.”
To be precise, Dalun Gongja instructed to attack, he didn’t directly hit. If someone violates the rules, it’s right for the students who followed Dalun Gongja’s orders to be the ones facing the consequences.
Count Ganelabra chuckled and said, “Moreover, Dalun Gongja had important business to attend to over the weekend.”
He glanced up and down at Loki.
“It seems difficult to heal Dalun Gongja mentally while working on the weekend. Do you know how expensive the deals are that are being made?”
Of course, Loki didn’t need to care about that.
But Count Ganelabra was forcing it now.
At that moment, when people like Johanna Freyja and Joden Adelian, who were friendly with Loki, were about to step forward.
– Flash.
Loki raised his hand high.
Seeing that, people realized that one could exaggerate raising a hand in place.
All eyes were on Loki,
And Loki spoke.
“I also had an important appointment on the weekend. Then, who will take responsibility for that appointment?”
“…Ha! It must be a trivial appointment anyway. I’ll take responsibility!”
“hehehe~ Really? You can’t have it both ways.”
As expected, I thought the Viscount Ganeudabra would show up.
It wasn’t difficult to prepare for it, knowing in advance.
“It’s almost time.”
“………!”
Everyone, except Elysia and Loki, suddenly felt a tremendous energy and flinched.
It was incomparable to the energy emitted by the professor in charge of the disciplinary committee earlier.
As Viscount Ganeudabra entered, someone came in through the open door.
“Joden and this person must have learned how to appear at a perfect timing.”
Blonde hair and golden eyes, just like Lucas and Erika, who exchange conversations with the special class every day through the communication device.
I’ve seen them quite a bit in the palace, but this was the first time seeing them outside the palace.
Casten Leonhart.
The current Emperor of the Croa Empire opened the door and entered.
When everyone was taken aback and lost in thought upon seeing the sudden appearance of the Emperor.
The Emperor’s gaze turned towards Ganeudabra.
“….I greet Your Majesty, the Great Emperor!”
Ganeudabra regained his composure and kneeled down, showing respect, and the Emperor looked down at Ganeudabra.
Feeling the tremendous energy above his head, Ganeudabra, like a mouse outside in the cold winter, shivered.
A trembling voice of the Emperor reached the Countess Ganelle, who was shivering.
“Jim is responsible for fulfilling the promise with ‘the only disciple’….”
“………!”
At first, everyone was bewildered by the Emperor’s words, but soon they understood and looked at Loki with astonishment.
Surely not?
“How are you going to fulfill Jim’s time, Countess Ganelle?”
Honestly, this does show how evil he can be when upset. I mean, I can’t say he didn’t deserve it, but not from him, and not in that way. Especially, him lying to Sepia about it just left a bad taste in my mouth.
They were in a public setting and people could overhear their conversation. If he had told her then other people could have heard.
Cats out of the bag 😅
With that, the public will soon learn that Loki is the Emperor’s disciple
